No layoffs, but Casteen warns of crisis cuts

Unlike Harvard, another investment-plagued institution, and one that stunned employees last month by announcing 275 layoffs, UVA President John Casteen announced Thursday, July 9, that despite a continuing drop in state funding, layoffs are still not part of his response to the crisis. Non-core programs, however, may hit the chopping block. "This is not a time for small steps or for delays in hopes that next month will be better," Casteen wrote in a wide-ranging University-wide email.

Need to make cuts? Start with the bowtie wearing cretins at the Darden School, where the heady blend of arrogance and ignorance permeates the air. Here is a so-called top-tier business school where no one, from the "distinguished faculty" right down to the so-called "leadership" of the governing foundation managed to predict the current economic crisis. They are a sham, lining their pockets with private donations and creating absolutely zero value.

Waste, sloth, stupidity. These are the shining characterisitcs of the Darden School.
